This highly interactive event offers an exciting day of problem-solving and information-sharing. You will leave with a new lens: able to take at least ONE critical action to improve your agency's services; inspired to advocate for ONE policy that will help you more effectively deliver services; and armed with an action plan for engaging at least ONE program participant in learning new ways to advocate for themselves. 

Event co-sponsor, the Colorado Center on Law and Policy, has engaged presenters and subject-matter experts from a broad array of human services nonprofits and government agencies, including: Colorado Works, Energy Outreach Colorado, Hunger Free Colorado, the Colorado Participation Project, the All Families Deserve a Chance Coalition, Colorado Legal Services and the Colorado Center on Law and Policy itself.

The morning will focus on navigating benefits systems and on service provision. The two back-to-back sessions are Changing Access to Benefits and Delivering Client-Centered Services. The afternoon will be all about what doesn't work and how you can advocate for change, with sessions on: Self-Advocacy for Workers and their Clients and Speak Up! Engaging Legislators and other decision-makers. We're inviting the state legislature to join us for lunch (box lunch included in the registration fee).  

Keynote Speaker, Mike Green

Coming to us from the Asset-Based Community Development Institute and the Denver Foundation, Mike brings a fresh perspective to the work with vulnerable populations. In Mike's view, human services clients are community assets to be leveraged for the good of all; not broken people whose deficits need to be 'fixed'. Mike presents a positive, heartening view of human service work that can make a real difference in the lives of workers and clients alike.
